A Word in Ills Rehalf.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: Your
paper, with the rest, has commented on the
shortage" In the accounts Of Mr.. Bacon,
late financial clerk of the patent Office He
cannot answer or explain, but is there no
one to say word in defense OF a man uu-
usually honest and beloved In life9 No
one among the hosts of friends who knew
and loved him to testify to his many vir-
tues and to call attention to that ruling
passion Of his life-an almost abnormal
kindness Of heart and utter unselfshness OF
spiritp No one to stake their own reputa-
tion that whatever Is wrong in the business
matters he had In charge, 1t was not "of
malice aforethought" on his part or for any
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT or gain? His in
tensity OF desire to help others made him
ever forgetful Of himself; too much 60
as 1t is, alas, so sadly proyen-for his own
good.
II is pity any announcement of the
matter was made until full Investigation
had brought to light only the absolute facts
In the case. In this way much pain might
have been spared already stricken hearts
and much reproach name so we'll beloved.
II, as intimated, Mr.. Bacon was COM
PEELED to carrya considerable sum OF money
appropriated to campaign purposes In 1880,
that fact relieves him as an Individual of at
least that amount Of blame. AS for the
sums advanced IN. clerks in anticipation OF
their salaries, the practice, II unlawful, was
not only well knownin the office, but taken
advantage Of by some Of the highest officials
there. Let some Of the living come for
ward and bear their share of the blame like
men, and not leave all to the name and
memory Of sman who never knew one
selfish thought In life, and whose worst
fault and misfortune lay In the possession
Of too kind heart for this most selfish
world. ONE WHO STEAKS FOR MANY.

Death OF a Faithful Clerk.

Mr.. James NJ. King. clerk In the
United States treasurer's Office, died on
Saturday last, the I'd instant, at Canon
City, COL, where he had recently gone in
the hope of recruiting his slowly but surely
declining health. Mr.. King was employed
for several years in; the office of the treas
urer, and in every position in which he was
placed gave evidence Of more than ordi.
nary ability. Every duty assigned him was
discharged with scrupulous fidelity, and
nothing left his hands but what showed
his appreciation of doing whatever was
worth doing at all well. OF clear under
standing, wide and varied information, yet

HE INTENDED TO KILL.

others Breast


Solomon Osborne, colored, aged II years,
an inmate Of o street alley, between Fourth
and Fifth streets northwest, shortly after
12 o'clock yesterday shot aud mortally
wounded another colored man named To-
bias, alias "Tobe" Parker. The cause was
due to the latter snatching cigar from
Osborne, and In doing so tearing his shirt.
"You had better get away from me-"
said Osborne. "Some OF you men will get
killed trying to take advantage of boys"
Parker insisted on taking the cigar aud
said that he meant to take It.
"You s. OF -, II you don't let me
alone III kill you,n said Osborne.
Parker, after tantalizing the boy for a
time, left him but returned in h ,lf an hour
and came towards Osborne, who stood be.
hind Sheppard Goodall. Parker had got
opposite Osborne when the latter drew a
revolver and taking aim over Goodalls
shoulder fired and the ball took effect In
Parker's right breast just right Of the main
line and struck the cartilage OF the seventh
rib.
~ told you would kill you, you g.
OF - said Osborne as he lowered his
weapon and ran out Of the alley. Parker
went few feet and then fell to the ground.
Several men assisted to pick him up and
carried him to the second precinct station
where DR.. w. II. Taylor attended him.
The wounded man was taken to Freedman's
Hospital where DR.. Purvis probed for the
ball, but failed to find 1t. The bullet Is
believed to have entered the stomach aud
the physicians think that the mans
chances for recovery are doubtful, Both
OF the men are very well known to the
police and the alley where the affair oc-
CURED is noted for It's disorderly character
The police were making every effort last
light to capture Osborne.

Some Curious Wedding Rings.

lNeW YORK JeWelry News.
In speaking of wedding rings, we learn
that these importan. symbols have not al
ways been manufactured from the precious
metal, gold. We are told that in lieu of a
ring the church key has often been used !:
and Walpole tells of an instance where a
certain ring was employed. The Duke of
Hamilton fell so violently in love with the
younger of the celebrated Misses Cunning,
at party in Lord Chesterfeld's house, that
two days after he sent for parson, to per-
form the marriage ceremony; but as the
Duke had neither license nor ring the clergy
man refused to act. Nothing damned, Ham
iltOn declared she would send for the arch
bishop" AT last they were married with a
ring OF the bed curtain at half past II at
night at Mayfair Chapel. Forgetful bride
grooms nave been reduced to greater straits
tnan THIS even; in one instance a leather
ring had, on the spur of the moment to be

an impression on her that on recovering She
